OH NOES MMY TREATED BLACKS SEPARATELY FROM "HOOMAN" HOOLY BOOLY

It depends on if that 1/32 black guy looks, acts, or is otherwise "black" in any sort of essence. Cheryl looks human, acts human, has (part of) a human soul, and is generally human in every observable sense of the world. Her humanity is there, and completely intact, and she exhibits no inhuman features.

>and she exhibits no inhuman features.

You gather all these things from... the few seconds we see her sleeping in a car on the way to Silent Hill?

How racist of you.

My comment had nothing to do w/ treating blacks as inhuman. I made the comparison b/c, according to you, regardless of percentage, or how little genetic makeup someone has, that person (or thing) is all or nothing.

So a person who looks white, actsÂ° white, and is otherwise white, yet is 1/32 parts black, is black and should be treated as such. I think you need to read Light In August.

>she exhibits no inhuman features.
How about when she walked on thin air, according to Cybil.

Â°: So much to say, so little time.

But that was after the whole Cheryl/Alessa link-up fiasco. And Alessa has magical powers; walking on thin air powers, apparently.

Cybil probably saw Alessa.

But why would Alessa be in the foggy world for anyone else other than Harry?

I've always doubted that it was really Cheryl that Cybil saw walking, but I have to say the idea of it being Alessa seems equally doubtful to me. So... I guess it's back to Cheryl again.

Honestly, I'm not sure if Cheryl had anything close to powers. I think it's implied that she must have some sort of inexplicable 'thing' to her, being part of Alessa, and that her desire to go to Silent Hill isn't just curiosity but this strong inkling/obvious need. That's.. about all I can think of, though.

However, since Heather is Cheryl, and is Alessa, and she had powers... and Alessa had powers... I think it's safe to say that Cheryl had them, too, we just didn't really get to see them all that much.

I also doubt Cybil saw Cheryl. Cybil even doubts that it was her. Not to mention that she's never even seen Cheryl, she was only given a brief description.

>I think it's safe to say that Cheryl had them

It's possible, but were never given any indication that Cheryl had any sort of powers. I tend to lean toward Cheryl being human, with no powers. Granted, not a "normal" human, but human nonetheless.

Then who did Cybil see?

Post by **jthomp1286** » 09 Apr 2009

I'm assuming who Harry saw when the Otherworld School changed back.

Cybil knows Cheryl is a seven year old girl. The combined Alessa/Cheryl we see on the road and in the school is 21. I don't think Cybil's stupid enough to suppose a 21 year old woman is the seven year old girl Harry is looking for, no matter how thick the fog was.

Then what is Cheryl doing running around Silent Hill, and out onto thin air no less?

Um . . . what?

She's 14. Not 21. Fourteen. You know, Alessa's age.

Post by **Number 7** » 09 Apr 2009

Yeah, she's fourteen. Then add 17 years in Silent Hill 3 and that's why the guy on the phone in the Otherworld hospital wishes Heather a happy 31st birthday.

She probably saw Alessa, since Cheryl doesn't really exist anymore as a seven year old girl who can walk around. Cherylessa and all.

Post by **Droo** » 09 Apr 2009

Alessa is 14.

Cheryl is seven.

Combined, they are 21.

The girl on the road does NOT look like any 14 year old I've ever seen.

Post by **The Adversary** » 09 Apr 2009

Yes, we all grasp basic math.

You, on the other hand, believe b/c a 7-year-old "merges" w/ a 14-year-old, the remaining being is 21.

And that's wrong. And dumb.

Accordingly, the woman seen stepping in front of Harry's jeep is Alessa from the future. She's not.

Post by **AuraTwilight** » 09 Apr 2009

Alessa also looks exactly like a 14 year old girl. Certainly not 21 by any means either way.

Post by **Arsonist** » 09 Apr 2009

Cheryl just merged with the other half of Alessa's soul not the entire Alessa, one half + the other half = entire soul.

There is no reason for Alessa to become twenty-one after merging with Cheryl, it makes no sense.

Post by **Number 7** » 09 Apr 2009

I just think she looks older because of bad art design and CGI. But it doesn't make sense for their ages to combine.

Post by **Droo** » 10 Apr 2009

Yeah, I suppose. After all, Angela looked much older than 19 as well.
